Deep endometriosis (DE) is the most severe subtype of endometriosis, marked by aggressive cellular behavior and debilitating pain. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying DE pathogenesis remain poorly understood. In this …
Endometriosis progression is driven by oxidative stress and excessive angiogenesis within an inflammatory microenvironment. To overcome these challenges, we designed ROS/pH dual-responsive Alpelisib-loaded nanoparticles (Alp@TAT-AT7-NPs) functionalized with an anti-NRP1 peptide …
The ascent of novel alternative methods in drug development spotlights the dual needs for improved biological fidelity to in vivo, along with reproducibility, especially in regulatory applications. The need for …
Endometriosis is a common, estrogen-driven chronic gynecologic disorder defined by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue within the peritoneal cavity. Existing treatment options, primarily surgery and hormonal therapy, are limited …
The clinical management of endometriosis encounters a significant obstacle: existing therapies inadequately address both the inhibition of ectopic lesion proliferation and the mitigation of the neuroinflammation associated with chronic pain. …
Endometriosis is underpinned by dysfunctional immune responses resulting in failure to clear ectopic endometrial lesions from the peritoneal cavity. The pelvic milieu comprising immature dendritic cells, dysfunctional cytotoxic lymphocytes, and …
A new humoral factor has been detected, within a project aiming to disclose the body's reproductive hormonal brake against tissue overgrowth, micrin ('my-crin'). Factor purification involved fractionation of ovine and …
Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we …
Elagolix sodium (ELS), a non-peptide oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH) antagonist approved for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain, displays atypical gelation in aqueous environments along with challenging physical properties such …
Endometriosis remains an under-researched disease with a wide range of symptoms. Endometriosis reduces a woman's quality of life and professional productivity, yet its exact causes, risk factors, and treatment have …
